My last family member died a little over 10 years ago. I used to dream of starting a new family and building a life. Nothing fancy, nothing perfect just something to be proud of and someone to be happy with.
It seems like the older I get the less interested I am in being with someone. I really don't think of starting a family anymore and when my friends talk about how hot some girl is, I just think about how she would have nothing to do with me and I really can't even come up with enough enthusiasm to respond.
I really don't care if I find anyone anymore, I can sometimes go 4 months without talking to someone of the opposite sex. I could care less now.
Everyone I know acts like I have a serious problem when I won't really respond with how much I would like to have sex with some random hot girl we see or when everyone talks about their girlfriend this or wife that I seem to ignore it. I really just don't see something like that happening for me based on past experiences. It's very rare now if I meet a girl I get excited about. Everyone asks me if I'm gay or they tell me that I need to turn gay. I find that offensive. Just because I'm losing interest in the dating game doesn't make me gay.
Is there something wrong with me or is this normal for a person to lose interest in dating as they get older?
Youre still really young, its nothing to be overly concerned about at this point. From what youve said...it may well be best that you don't look for something just for the sake of...because it would not be fair to your relationship. When it happens, it will be because it was time for it to happen.
Most of my male friends (mid 20's to early 30's) aren't considering committing to anyone...most of my bf's friends are though..they are mostly in thier mid 30's and getting married left and right. It really seems to me like as a guy approaches 35, they start to think of their life in a whole different way.
Also, a lot of guys take this time to focus more on their career and life goals...and by the time they are in their mid 30's are in a place of life where they feel they can take care of a family...until then, family is the last thing on thier mind...looking out for themselves is. Nothing unusual or abnormal about that... and when you do meet the right woman, she will appreciate it that you focused on yourself early on, to make a better life for both of you later on.
It's normal. You may or may not feel differently later and it could be physically caused by the drop in testosterone that happens when you get older.
You might still meet someone you click with. It's happening with me. I spent the past 5 years without anyone at all and no desire for marriage, etc. I'm still not sure that marriage is right for me, but I did meet someone while I wasn't looking and I'm liking it. Didn't think I would. Not sure how I'm going to feel when/if it ends.
I'm not sure why I didn't click with the hundreds of men I'm sure I met in the course of that 5 years. Perhaps I wasn't open. Could have been a medication I took for 9 months that suppresses dopamine levels in the brain for 9 months. It could be a lot of things combined. I had also gotten out of a relationship that really did a number on my head 5 years ago.
I found people not understanding of what I was going through. I think my parents thought I was gay or something. I found it frustrating with them constantly trying to fix me up. I felt awful and like the guys thought I was arrogant when I'd have to say I wasn't into them.
I think it is normal, but you should probably evaluate your feelings and physical health to be sure. It could be that you are afraid of rejection. I am.
It's not necessarily weird at all - you're doing what's best for YOU in your life, and that's what matters. You're not dictating to your friends how to live their lives - If you want to date again at some point, it will be all up to you. If the people in your life can't accept that and won't stop being so judgmental, then it's them with the problem. Be true to yourself.
You are at a dinner with her, have just walked into an interview or are at a first date with the best looking guy and there, your top two shirt buttons have snapped, or the pants you were wearing...

Almost every woman has walked away from at least one relationship at one period in time or another, sometimes leaving the guy behind scratching his head... saying "What did I do?". I have had many...
